I graduated from Komazawa University with a Bachelors of Arts in English Literature in 2015 and received my certification in Japanese Instruction from the Sendagaya Japanese Language Institute in 2017. I am currently in a Graduate Program at Texas State University in Adult Education. Teaching students about my native language and culture is my passion. I have had many students that have successfully passed Japanese proficiency exams, and some that have even moved to Japan. Whatever your goals in the Japanese language you have, I am here to customize your lessons to help you achieve them.

Aside from teaching Japanese, I enjoy music and play the guitar. I have been playing guitar since I was a child and it is one of my life long passions. I also enjoy sports, hiking with my dog and wife, and traveling.
